About
Robert Gama
I'm a third-year at Claremont McKenna College studying economics and psychology. I'm a Robert Day, Henry Kravis, and Appel Family Writing Scholar, and I'll spend spring 2027 studying abroad in Rome, Italy!
I grew up in Pomona, California. My parents immigrated from Mexico and neither finished school past middle school, so they built careers in sales instead, and I spent a lot of my childhood in the room while they figured out customers and money one problem at a time. My grandparents had fifteen kids and raised them in poverty. My parents got a little further, and I hope to get further still.
These days that shows up in what I spend my time on: a student sustainability consulting group, a mariachi club, mentoring other students, and a business I helped run for four years. Now I'm working toward a career in strategy consulting, because I care about building thoughtful things that last, and I want to do that with better tools and on a bigger scale.

Outside of school
Personal
Outside of school I'm usually making something or moving around outside. I do archery, paint landscapes in oil, and practice yoga. I've got a small garden at home too, both ornamental and herb. I care a lot about sustainable, intentional living and design. Also, I drink an unreasonable amount of tea.
